Thanks. This is a server with no X or X apps running. The base debian install apparently did install some stuff I thought it should not have, like pulseaudio, since the machine has no soundcard. I believe the issue was multiple processes running amok but I was not able to even get logged on to see what was going on... the processes had it really tied up. I made that assumption based on the error messages that were showing up. That was with 10. On Debian 9, I have plenty of RAM and CPU available. --- þ SLMR 2.1a þ Wrinkles only go where smiles have been - Jimmy Buffett þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTP .
